Sorry if these questions have already been posted I did a post earlier but it doesn't seem to have appeared so suspect I did something wrong - I'm new to the forum!
I'd be really grateful for some advice ...
I'm doing my first smoke this weekend on my new smokey mountain. It will be a pork butt.
How much charcoal should I put in? I'm using heat beads and they come in 4kg bags should I use a whole one? Can you cause problems by putting in too much?
What do I do if the fuel runs out? Take the smokey mountain apart to load up or try and do it through the door?
I'm planning to use the minion method as I think I'm less likely to mess it up than the snake method. There seem to be different schools of thought about whether to spread the lit coals all over the top of the unlit or to dig a hole in the middle. Does it matter? Has anyone used one method and had problems?
How much fuel should I light? A whole chimney?
I've got the 22 inch smokey mountain.
Thanks in advance!
Chris
